January 28, 1997 -- Urg! I'm tired! Today was my early day for classes. At 8:30 this morning I was subjecting myself to Chemistry recitation when I SHOULD have been asleep. Grrr. At least I only have one day that's kinda cheesy, and that's only when I have Chem......which I don't HAVE to go to on Tuesdays! YAAAAY!!! Usually I have nothing before 10am.....a nice time for me to deal with education. In case I haven't mentioned it, I go to Hofstra University a cozy little place for lushes from all across the country to head so they can have all-night keg parties only 20 minutes from the city and 10 minutes from Roosevelt Field Mall.....and go to class in the morning. Sure. I like Hofstra a bunch, but it's still fun to laugh at all of the drunks. Anyway....back to my day. It was my second day back to class. Yesterday I had Calc 3, English 2, and General Chemisty 2. In at 10am, out at 2pm. Not bad, except that it screws up my February tanning plans... ;) I love my schedule....I made sure it rocked. Otherwise I'd NEVER be able to work on my web page.... ;) Okay, enough with the smileys.....I love them but enough's enough! I got there with plenty of time to hang out before Calc and get nervous about what the teacher was going to be like. There are 9 of us in my class. We all exchanged myths about the teacher until he showed up. This chick Shannon from my class last semester and I are the only girls. I have a feeling most people are going to drop this class and get Slome...(We have Vassalotti.) because OH MY GOD I AM IN HELL! You know that teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Well, I've got him for Calc 3. Only worse. He spent the first 25 minutes talking about the information we all had on our schedules. Like when the class meets and what it's called. He doesn't abbreviate ANYTHING. Monday ten ten o'clock until eleven fifteen o'clock. Okay...he used numbers, he IS a math teacher (so we're told.) but he didn't abbreviate anything else. He took the rest of the HOUR to talk about a THREE DIMENSIONAL PLANE!!!!!!! And that was all. X-axis, y-axis, z-axis....it isn't that hard! He didn't give out a syllabus, he just talked about that then gave us a few homework problems. After class I ran into this guy (Carl) who was in the other Calc 2 class...we used to run into each other on the way to class all the time last semester but I had been late every day at the end of the semester so I hadn't seen him for a while. He's in the other Calc 3 class (Slome). Go figure. But his class meets right after mine in the same room on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. He's cool, but he said I looked like I was hiding from the mob (he hadn't seen my haircut or color change before). A girl from pep band (Christina) sits next to me in English. She's VERY quiet. My English teacher is cool, but he's a wacko. He'll be talking normally then he'll SUDDENLY START SHOUTING FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHATSOEVER THEN go back to talking normally. Weird. He may be the most anal person on the planet, but in a good way. He handed out a VERY detailed syllabus and we only have three papers to write. And we get to revise them as much as we like. Like...improve our grades. I'm GOING TO GET AN A IN THAT CLASS! All I have to do is write and hand it in on time. My chem teacher is the same guy I had last semester. He's cool...and his syllabus got better. The class schedule kicks ass...I only have to go to the 8:30am recitation three or four times. Very cool. Today I found out he's my lab prof too. Creepy....when do I get to see the OTHER chemistry teachers? Then I had Japanese. Piza o tabemasu. I eat pizza. That was fun, and when I got home I really did eat pizza. Then I did this. I also got myself a cool new lip balm....it's tiny and cute. Kiwi-Lime. I know it sounds gross but it's really nice. I'm happy, especially since I'm ADDICTED to lip balm and I can't find my usual brand anywhere. Life is doing groovy stuff. Except to my back.....that's been killing me. Ayone who gives kick-ass backrubs write me! Okay, enough journal. I've got a teeny bit of homework to do, then I get to take a nice relaxing bath....I love being unemployed! |
